Reid Hoffman (@reidhoffman) is a co-founder of LinkedIn, investor at Greylock Partners, host of the podcast Masters of Scale, and co-author of the fully revised and updated bestseller The Start-Up of You: Adapt to the Future, Invest in Yourself, and Transform Your Career. What We Discuss with Reid Hoffman: Why you should think of your career as a startup — from the perspective of an entrepreneur rather than an employee. What it means to evoke a permanent beta mindset in which you treat every day like day one and commit your life to personal growth. Why it’s important to continually generate professional opportunities even if you're happy where you are. Why you should ignore hacky influencers who tell you to "begin with the end in mind" when it comes to your career (and what you're better off doing instead). The soft and hard assets you should be tracking to make yourself, as friend of the show Cal Newport has famously said, "so good they can't ignore you." And much more...

Entrepreneurship is also about being creative, disruptive, and innovative. No dream is too big, and no idea is too crazy. That's because as problem solvers, entrepreneurs focus on making an impact and changing the lives of people around them for the better.This week, Sean and James share progress about their new achievements and wins. Yet, despite their victories, whether big or small, both find doubts and worry about doing things correctly. The two tackle topics surrounding their personal purpose, how stories affect people's lives, and the differences between coaches, advisers, and mentors. Tune in to discover why they called the show Start-up Struggles! Key Takeaways:The ability to strategize and plan ahead requires an entrepreneurial mindset. Even if you don't own a business, looking at your life like a start-up. Think of it as something that requires careful planning to help you move forward.Like your core values, understanding your purpose will help you and serve as your compass whenever you have doubts and feel lost. When thinking about the impact you make, don't focus on how much growth you're making. Treat it like a marathon, focus on milestones, celebrate small wins, listen to feedback, and keep on improving. Episode Quotes:On the book, The Start-up of YouJames [00:01:38] We have to think of our lives as a startup. We think of it like we're a company, right? We have to have our own vision, our own goals. And we have to be relentless when thinking about things that we are personally going after, and it doesn't just have to be for work. I think that the big takeaway from that book was when you start to shift your mind and think about yourself as a company, as a startup, it's much more exciting.Stay on Track with a Clear Vision and PurposeJames [00:05:44]: I was thinking about how this applies the same way to my life because I didn't have a very clear goal or vision for what my life path was. It became very hard to do specific things or to take action on things because I was turned around in all directions. If you don't have a clear direction, It's like having, a broken rudder on a boat, you just ship around and sail around wherever. With no idea of where you're going, sooner or later, you're just going in circles.Why Having Absolute Freedom can be DetrimentalJames [00:21:44] I love the idea of stories. I think stories are extremely important, and I think the reason we struggle with this is that even movies, 90% of the content is, at the moment where they're the hero. And they're making an impact and changing the world and saving whatever, killing the villain. 10% is the backstory. It's what they went through, and it's like a quick think. It is just fast-forward to today.Always Start with Solving Your Own ProblemSean [00:32:29] There's nothing wrong with starting with yourself because that's where most people, most startups, and entrepreneurs start. They start with a personal problem, This is the personal pain point for me. This is why I'm doing this. We're coming full circle to the beginning of this conversation. I love it because there's nothing wrong with focusing on yourself and that audience of you. Because frankly, in some ways, you are unique. But in many ways we are not unique, right? Your problems are not unique. Like there's somebody out there who has very similar problems as you, who's going through various similar stages in their life.Show Links:The Start-up of You: Adapt to the Future, Invest in Yourself, and Transform Your CareerTraction: How Any Startup Can Achieve Explosive Customer Growth

But, they will be open-minded to a business tool that will help them increase productivity and sales, find talent, help their salespeople connect with the right people, and share their content and build their brand.” - Colleen McKenna [18:10] “I'm pretty driven once I say I'm going to work on something and I like creating things...I always say I'm like the baker…So, I'm usually the person that puts it in the oven, pulls it out, puts it on the table, then other people on the team finish it up and make it beautiful. - Colleen McKenna [30:28] “I think everyone should take a look at their [LinkedIn] profile and really make sure that their profile is built out as a marketing tool.” - Colleen McKenna [37:31] “Always add value to a conversation.

Jeremy Ogle joins us today and we throw a bunch of listener questions his way and we also discuss his nude photo shoot, the impacts of cancelled events, media outlets missing some major parts of his story, impacts of discussing severe depression, improving the adaptive community, if he’ll ever settle down, competing, and a bunch more.   Jeremy Ogle is an Athlete, speaker, and founder of You Adapt.     More about Jeremy Ogle For Jeremy Ogle, failure was not an option for him. When his daughter came along and once she was placed in his arm all his fears went away. Jeremy knew he had to be strong for her and himself.    Jeremy has earned countless medals in multiple sports, including Adaptive CrossFit, OCRs, Running Comps, and U.S. Paralympic Nationals and has the pleasure of being a motivational speaker.   Jeremy states, "At the end of the day medals are just medals - material things. The real rewarding part of my journey is seeing my daughter and other people’s faces light up when they see me finish a race that was said to be impossible for someone with a disability. At that moment, I can see a light bulb turning on in their mind, illuminating the endless possibilities of what they can accomplish, too. I am proving to them that anyone can achieve anything by believing in it and working hard for it. I do this for them.”  Jeremy lives to show others that "when life presents you with a challenge, You Adapt.”   https://www.instagram.com/armsolo_/ https://www.instagram.com/youadapt/ https://www.facebook.com/youadapt/ https://www.facebook.com/arm.solo   This episode is brought to you by Living Adaptive with Scott Davidson.   Find Living Adaptive at, www.livingadaptive.com for more information.

Leading up to her birth, he battled depression and many other complex physical and emotional challenges. Jeremy was walking a pretty tough path after his injury and at the same time he became a father.  Pretty shortly after, Jeremy made a major decision to change his life physically and mentally.  Symbollically he hiked one of his favorite mountains and dumped his pain meds in the dirt, crushed them and his new life began.  Jeremy Ogle has earned countless medals in multiple sports, especially within adaptive crossfit and obstacle course racing, and recently Jeremy was one of four team members that took home the title for the first ever Spartan Para Elite Team.  Jeremy is super driven and has made positive impacts through public speaking, mentoring, forming You Adapt, and especially sharing his life so others can see true perseverance.  I should also mention Jeremy’s a personality, he’s really fun, and he’s got one of the best social media presences I’ve encountered.     https://www.instagram.com/youadapt/ https://www.facebook.com/youadapt/ https://www.facebook.com/arm.solo https://www.instagram.com/armsolo_/   Be More Adaptive https://www.bemoreadaptive.org/ https://www.facebook.com/bemoreadaptive/ https://www.instagram.com/bemoreadaptive/ Be More Adaptive Closed Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/919272088245904/   This episode is brought to you by Living Adaptive with Scott Davidson.   Find Living Adaptive at, www.livingadaptive.comfor more information.

This week’s episode covers a new set of topics. The conversation, with Niel Robertson, covers media, e-sports, content distribution, marketing, and a lot more. Niel started a software company out of his bedroom when he was 14, and sold his first company in 1999 for $280 million, when he was 24 years old. He has started and sold other companies to Twitter and Cisco. He started another large business that ultimately failed. He’s been an investor, venture partner, and serial entrepreneur. You can find more in the shownotes.  As I often do, I cut the long background section from the interview so we can get right to the meat of things, but Niel concluded that section saying: “I think that could be all summed up by I just liked building things and I can't stop doing it.” In addition to the overall media landscape, we discuss the role that the biggest media platforms will play, and where other opportunities may exist. We cover digital collectibles stored on blockchain, and what type of digital assets may be leased to others. We close with a discussion of leadership, company structure, content creation, and something you should do each year.

Marti Konstant reviews core principles of agile thinking. She focuses on what she learned from her body of research and how it applies to people at any stage of their career and life but especially to those who are set in their ways and need a new way to see the world. Listen in for an exciting and purposeful conversation on agility!   Key Takeaways: [:56] Marc welcomes you to Episode 82 of the Repurpose Your Career podcast and invites you to share this podcast with like-minded souls. Please subscribe, share it on social media, write an honest iTunes review, or tell your neighbors and colleagues. [1:25] Several episodes back, Marc asked for volunteers for the “Can You Repurpose Your Career” series. Marc worked with Tim in episodes 48-51.[1:38] Marc has selected two volunteers — Juan, a 55-year old former school teacher, who’s trying to figure out what is next, and Sarah, a marketer who is a square peg. Sarah is in her early fifties and Marc will help her figure what the future may hold. Each of these will comprise of three or four episodes spread out over several months. [2:06] Marc wants you to see how some personalities have difficulty fitting in today’s workplace. Teachers, if they’ve taught for many years, they struggle to find their place in the traditional workplace. They don’t quite feel they fit in, but don’t know why. Marc will explore where they fit in and where they are misinterpreted. [2:48] In this week’s episode, Marc interviews Marti Konstant, author of Activate Your Agile Career: How Responding to Change Will Inspire Your Life’s Work. Marti is a workplace futurist with an agile mindset. She is a career growth analyst, author, speaker, and Founder of the Agile Careerist Project.[3:13] Marti’s career path includes artist, designer, brand developer, entrepreneur, technology marketing executive, investor, and a 2nd half of life career pivoter. [3:26] Marc welcomes Marti to the Repurpose Your Career podcast. [4:22] Marti talks about a career detour that started early in her life with diagnoses of skeletal diseases that put her in a full-body brace for her high-school years. What it did was taught Marti the value of true friends, and gave her focus on her schoolwork. She learned to adapt to a life of near-immobility. [7:39] Marc relates to that, as he recalls rupturing the L4-L5 disk in his back and being bed-bound for four months. [8:36] Marti started as a graphic designer, then ran a B-2-B business with a partner. The next third of her career, Marti migrated into marketing. She got an MBA and worked for growth-stage technology companies. When she was Chief Marketer at a company, it was sold to a Fortune 100 company. She had been working towards that success. [11:41] Observing engineers, she took their agile production techniques of breaking things into smaller pieces and collaborating on projects, and applied those methods to the marketing business. She learned about formal project management and cites the way it was used to put a man on the moon. [13:06] In 2012 Marti worked with a group of global marketers to apply agile methods to the marketing process. They came up with an agile marketing manifesto. [13:49] Marketing was modestly different from engineering, so the agile method principles had to be adjusted. Marti started thinking about adjusting some of the principles of agile methods to the management of one’s own career. In 2012, the world was reeling from the global financial crisis. People were not adapting to the changes. [14:50] There was downsizing and organizations became efficient. People became consultants who did not want to be consultants. Marti thought the world needed agile methods to adapt to changes. [16:00] Marti reviews “lean” methods — test a product; get market feedback; change the product according to the feedback. It is a subset of agile thinking. Marti put up some LinkedIn Slideshare pieces that were 12-15 slides long, based on 20 interviews she had conducted and they got thousands of views and hundreds of downloads. [17:00] Marti adjusted her interview process and did about 120 interviews of one-third Millennials, one-third Gen-Xers and one-third Boomers. Then she hired a marketing research firm to survey mid-careerists between the ages of 35 to early 50s. Marti learned many things through this project. [17:45] Marti’s big ‘aha’ was that every individual is skewed more towards being set in their ways or agile. Marti found that people who were adaptable and responded to change were able to advance, be happier in their jobs and had the mindset that they didn’t have to worry about things like recessions. [19:14] The career agility model starts with the design-thinking phase of life, when we’re exploring and refining what we want to do. We should never let the design-thinking phase of our life end. Then we determine at some point what our strengths, likes, and dislikes are. We enter the career hypothesis phase. [20:30] You graduate from school or a program, or you learn it on your own, and then you start your career. Marti found that 80% of the people who were interviewed got the job they could get — not that perfect job. Sometimes they ended up in completely unexpected roles. The first job very often impacted their career trajectory. [21:06] The model covers things like having a project mindset, A-B testing your career, the concept of an idea zone (similar to a backlog that software engineers use where they nurture ideas for the next generation of their product), activating the feedback squad of mentors, colleagues, advisors and “learning from dead people.” [22:05] Life and work aren’t about one thing. We are more productive when we explore on the side things unrelated to our core industry or interest. This helps us in the way that we solve problems. Parallel pursuits can be side gigs or freelance work. Meanwhile, optimize your career brand. [22:46] Similar to the five stages of grieving, you don’t have to do the steps of the agility model in order. Many of the most successful agile careerists went through all or most of the steps. [23:08] Marti talks about the project mindset. View your career as a series of projects rather than as one big thing. A project generates excitement. It has a foreseeable beginning, middle and end. When something gets too protracted, it get boring. The ideal segment of time today for a role is about two to three years. [24:46] The project mindset is pretty intriguing because one of the biggest problems we have in our workplace today is lack of engagement. A large percent of disengaged workers are actively negative. [25:15] Marti talks about optimizing the areas of creativity, growth, and happiness. If you are optimizing on these three fronts, you are in the right role and in the zone but it’s always important to think about what’s next. [25:45] Seth Godin proposed the concept of life as a series of projects. Seth started in corporate. Now he takes each of his book ideas, creates a project of it, gets a sponsor, and does workshops around it. Each book project is focused on helping people to be more productive and successful. Marti talks about debriefing and tweaking the project. [27:05] Marc relates his experience of his expected linear career on graduation in 1978. This was the steadfast mindset. Marc talks about the creative destruction of the iPhone and other innovations. Marc has people in his community who are stuck because they want to do things that don’t exist anymore. [28:52] If you don’t adapt, you will be left behind. Marti refers to Joseph Schumpeter’s theory of creative destruction. Today the destruction is accelerating. The half-life of an education is now less than five years. Agility thinking is not age-specific. Integrate agility into thinking or you will leave a lot of opportunities and rich experiences on the table. [31:49] You never really know what you’re walking into. When Marti started this project five years ago, she had just sold her company, was consulting, traveling to Silicon Valley, and doing this research on the side. She didn’t know why she was doing it or where it would lead but she was curious and couldn’t drop it. [32:43] She started to ask how she could use this body of work to help people and mitigate some of the pain and suffering they go through in managing their career. She devised models and workshops. She helped people develop career brand maps. She built tools useful in a webinar or an interview. She knew it couldn’t be about her opinion. [34:07] Marti provides exercises at the end of each book chapter similar to the types of things she would cover in a workshop to help people with tools of agility. Marti believes people of any age can learn this and learn to optimize their creativity, growth, and happiness. Marti wants to mitigate the technology overwhelm. [35:04] Marti’s last bit of advice: pick out a hobby or something that challenges you in a way that is exciting for you. Do something on the side that will be useful for you in the future. This isn’t a quick fix. You might find something that could be a parallel track for you and you could find yourself jumping a lane in the near future.” [36:00] In light of chaos theory, Marc recommends you randomly try stuff. “Go take a dart and throw it against the wall and see what it hits.” [36:37] Marti cites Tina Seelig of Stanford: “Experiences lead to passions, not the other way around.” Marti says that is a golden nugget. The reality is testing, experimentation, and measuring to find what you like. Give yourself permission to try new things.

Today's guest covers a wide range of subjects: why he set up his blog The Couch Manager, why everyone should set up a blog for professional, personal and financial reasons and we even talk about failure. He's very recently (yesterday!) set up Ganttopia. Hassan Osman is an entrepreneur, author of the Amazon Kindle bestseller Influencing Virtual Teams: 17 Tactics That Get Things Done with Your Remote Employees and works as Senior Manager at Cisco. I've kept my introduction extremely short today because our conversation was very meaty and I had little to add on the subject. Here are the links and show notes. 00:30 Pilar's short intro. 04.20 The conversation starts. Hassan and Pilar catch up. 05:50 Hassan talks about why he set up his blog The Couch Manager where he blogs about virtual work and productivity. Do something small and just launch. Everything else will be easier after that. Hassan recommends David Allen's Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-free Productivity and Tim Ferriss' The 4-Hour Work Week 12:00 How the basics of working in virtual teams can be applied to corporations. 13:30 How we can now influence beyond our workplace. Growing your career as a start up. Hassan recommends The Start-up of You: Adapt to the Future, Invest in Yourself, and Transform Your Career and talks about being in "permanent beta". 16:00 Hassan explains why he believes every company is now virtual and why we should not lose the face-face connection. "The fact that you can hire someone virtually opens up a huge talent pool that you can pick from." 22:00 How virtual team working changed in the last four years. 25:30 How writing Influencing Virtual Teams came about and why everyone should start a blog from a professional, personal and financial perspective. (If you are interested in this, check out Mariano Tufro's interview, where he talks about raising your profile through social media.) 29:20 Hassan talks about the popularity of his blog post about how to design the ultimate home office encouraged him to start creating e-books and how he tests the potential of his new products. 35:00 "Making money is a muscle too" and, be ready to fail. Pilar mentions her blog post on "Think Like a Freak". 38:00 Using illustrations to present concepts. Hassan recommends Back of the Napkin: Solving problems and selling ideas with pictures. Check out his post on How to Create Hand Drawn Pictures to Explain Anything Even if You Don't Know How to Draw. 42:30 Ganttopia: Hassan's new project where he offers templates for gantt charts to project managers. And don't forget that Hassan has a very popular course on Udemy, full of video tutorials on managing virtual teams:  How to Manage and Influence Your Virtual Team.    

Welcome to episode #310 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Reid Hoffman co-founded LinkedIn - the very popular online social network for business professionals - in December 2002. With close to 140 million members in over 20 countries, LinkedIn's IPO in May of last year made Hoffman a billionaire. Currently, he serves as Executive Chairman of LinkedIn and is a partner at Greylock Partners - a very popular venture capital firm. Hoffman's passion is in understanding how these connected networks that we're all creating everyday as we connect, friend, like, link and follow one another creates new business opportunities. He also believes that in these highly networked times, we have to start thinking differently about business and the work that we're doing. Along with Ben Casnocha (an award-winning entrepreneur and author), they recently published the business book, The Start-up of You: Adapt to the Future, Invest in Yourself, and Transform Your Career.
